Sophear Nam
Sophear started Eagle Nest Real Estate Investment, LLC in 2012. She wanted to be available for her young children and working full time as a corporate engineer was not going to help her accomplish that goal. After her second child was born, she transferred the money she had in her corporate retirement account to a self directed IRA and purchased houses in California and Oregon. The house was rented for a year. When the tenant moved out, Sophear remodeled the property and sold it with profit reaching 50% ROI. After this sale, Sophear had more than doubled the retirement capital in the self directed IRA. These first real estate transactions were just the beginning for Sophear and in cultivating her natural talent for real estate analysis.
While Sophear considers herself “self-taught” in the real estate business and in architectural design, she obtained a building designer certificate through American Institute of Building Design. This allowed her to design the needed changes to the purchased properties and made way for the creation of an affiliated company, Eagle Nest Construction, LLC.
Thy Nam
Thy is Sophear’s big brother and one of her strongest supporters. Before joining Eagle Nest, he supported his family working various jobs as a handyman and property manager.
When Sophear bought her first property in Oregon, it was natural to ask big brother for help. The partnership has strengthened the business and it did not take long before Thy joined Eagle Nest full time.
